Lo-Ball returned to its temporary home in Bergen Place Park Friday night. After their former venue, Mr. Spot’s Chai House, decided they didn’t want to do comedy anymore, Lo-Ball was forced to the streets (or in this case, the park next door). This stinging rebuke turned into a stroke of luck, however, as they’ve been pulling  bigger crowds than ever, while the Chai House has been largely empty.

Friday’s show, hosted by Ron Placcone, included local talent Travis Vogt, Kevin Hyder, and Lizzy Pilcher. 

This is where the magic will happen tonight. Except it will be dark. And full of hobos.

 In case you missed it, LO-BALL had an exciting show last week. You can read about it in Paul Merrill’s blog and The Stranger

Needless to say, we don’t have a home anymore for Lo-Ball, our favorite free, all-ages, comedy workshop/open-mic.

Is that going to stop us?

HELL NO!

We’re taking it to the streets, people! Or, in our case, we’re taking Lo-Ball to the Bergen Place Park, the little “cement garden” next to the Chai House, on the corner on Market and Leary.

Last week’s show was one of the greatest nights we’ve ever had in comedy, so be sure to drop by tonight at 9pm. Drinks are on Paul . . . as long as they aren’t from the Chai House!

The People’s Republic of Komedy will be returning to Bumbershoot this fall, producing the Northwest Comedy stage. In this video, Andy Peters recaps last year’s festival.
